cygutils uses a similar check in its configury to figure out if it 
should build the windows-only getclip/putclip programs...

AC_CHECK_STDCALL_FUNC([OpenClipboard],[void *])
AM_CONDITIONAL(WITH_WINDOWS_PROGRAMS, test "$ac_cv_func_OpenClipboard" = 
yes)

But this still works for both 32- and 64- bit cygwin because those lines 
are *preceded* by

AC_CHECK_HEADERS([... windows.h])

which insures that future test programs have #include <windows.h> in 
them (assuming the header is found), so the proper 
declaration/decorations are present for OpenClipboard.
